From LittleLan:
ReverseTether allows you to access your computer's internet connection on your device via USB, thus, reverse tethering. It's the first and only app of its kind on the Market, no other app does such a thing.This app may be useful for you if:- if you don't have a mobile data plan.- if you have a limited plan and would like to spare your bytes and money whenever you're at home/work/school.- if you're roaming and would like to avoid roaming data charges. - if you prefer speed and want an internet that is faster* than any wifi/3g/4g/lte. (*as fast as your modem)- if you don't have access to wifi / don't need wifi just for your device.- if you don't trust the security/privacy of your wifi network.- if your wifi connection is weak, slow or keeps disconnecting.- if you're sick of eating terrible food at burger places just for wifi access.- if you would like to access your local network from your device for backups or storage.Basically, since you're already connected to usb to recharge or sync, why not also have a super fast, unlimited, secure internet connection for no additional charges, for whatever reason, like sync your mail, contacts or calendars, download and update apps, pre-cache maps, use online-only apps/games, etc...Key features:- You'll be able to connect to the internet via USB with a single click. No advanced skills required whatsoever.- The connection will appear on your device as 3G so that all apps including Market function seamlessly as if you're actually connected to 3G.- It will first guide you in 2 easy steps to setup your computer for it to work. - No pc-side software installation is needed at all.- It provides an option to automatically connect as soon as you plug in USB.- To disconnect, simply unplug USB. To connect again, plug back USB. Voila. Easy.- A manual configuration option is also available for advanced users.This app requires:- A ROOTED android device- A Tether option in your device. - A desktop/laptop computer with your device drivers installed (and ability to edit Network Connections, no extra software needed)- An internet connection - Patience - a connection may take a few seconds to a few minutes to get established, since there's no direct way to do it but through this trick.All app permissions are only needed to establish the connection.Limitations:This is a functional trial app that never expires. The one limitation is that you can only connect to the internet in the afternoon and in the late evening, but you can stay online for as long as you want. If you enjoy it please consider purchasing the non-limited version of ReverseTether also available here on Market. Note that this App was not tested on all android devices and might not work on yours, depending on your manufacturer, your carrier's restrictions, your device's configuration or whatnot, so please, it's not necessary to write a bad review if your device is restricted in such a way. You can just test it, it's very light and uninstalls neatly. If it works on your device however please let everyone know in your review. If you have questions or need support, please write us using the provided link, do not ask your questions in your review because we can't reach you back.Recent changes:* fixed 3G emulation on some devices* fixed USB connection on some devices* bug fixesContent rating: Everyone
